  • A video which shows a brawl between two groups is being shared with a claim that it shows a fight between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers and the locals of Gujarat during an election campaign. But the truth is: The video is from West Bengal and it shows a clash between the BJP and Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers. How do we know?: A closer look at the video showed an installation in the background which read 'I love Chinsurah,' a city in West Bengal. Even the people can be heard speaking in Bengali. What about other sources?: A keyword search on Google led us to a news report in English newspaper The Times of India, which carried the same video. The report was published on 6 August 2022 and mentioned that it showed a clash between TMC and BJP workers in West Bengal's Hooghly district. The video report stated TMC MLA from Chinsurah, Asit Mazumder, could be seen beating the workers with a stick. The video was also uploaded on YouTube by English news channel Times Now. We could also notice similarities between the viral video and the TV clip. (Note: Swipe to see the comparison between the viral video and the video shows by the news channel) Both the videos are the same. (Source: Altered by The Quint) Flashback: The same video was earlier shared as from Bihar, after JD(U) broke ties with the BJP and formed the government with Rashtriya Janata Dal. Read our fact-check about it here. Conclusion: Clearly, an incident of a clash between TMC and BJP workers from West Bengal is being falsely shared as from Gujarat ahead of the elections.
